Enumerators

enumerator kA3DReadGeomOnly
kA3DReadGeomOnly = 0

In this mode, Exchange will avoid reading or generating tessellation on B-rep.

Faceted elements from the native file will still be imported.

enumerator kA3DReadGeomAndTess
kA3DReadGeomAndTess

Mixed mode: In this mode, the B-rep and faceted elements are read from the native file.

Tessellation is then generated from B-rep elements.

enumerator kA3DReadTessOnly
kA3DReadTessOnly

In this mode, all faceted elements from the native file are read.

If present, the native tessellation of the B-rep is read exclusively. Native tessellation is the display list integrated in the CAD file (only available for CATIA V5, Solidworks, 3DXML, and Inventor).

There are some side effects: The tessellation may be not up-to-date with the geometry, the assembly tree can be different, and hidden objects may be missed.

If an element contains only B-rep, tessellation is generated from the B-rep and subsequently the B-rep is removed to save memory.
